Here is a recording of The Easter Day 2019 Eucharist at St Peter’s Church, Dorchester. The recording of the service, which was made on a portable hand-held recorder, was not broadcast but we offer it here for anyone who would like to listen.

Those taking part in the service were Rev Claire McLelland and Rev Eileen McLean, organist and Musical Director of St Peter’s Choir, David Fawcett. Prayers of intercession read by Marje Snape. Readings by David Guy and Diana Nicholls. Gospel read by Rev Claire McLelland.

Recording made by Heather and Peter Foster.

An excellent exhibition was held in Charlton Down Village Hall (Herrison Hall) on 7th April displaying all sorts of memorabilia relating to the former Herrison Hospital which closed in 1992 and eventually was redeveloped as private accommodation. On display were hundreds of photographs and artefacts and it is estimated that up to 1000 visitors attended the event.

KeeP 106 presented a two hour broadcast from the event – a particularly nostalgic occasion for several presenters who were involved in the hospital’s own radio station, Radio Herrison, all those years ago! Below is the recording of the show.
